Hello out there!! I just got home from Spain and have so many tales to tell! After I decompress and sort it all out I’ll share them with you. I hope you’ll come along for the ride but in the meantime I thought I would share a brief snapshot of a few of our adventures.
We spent two weeks in Spain to celebrate our 25th anniversary. I had three great hotels booked and all met and even exceeded our expectations. All the staff at every hotel were so friendly, helpful and on top of everything! We had some bumps along the way but overall it was a resounding success. I met up with several blog and travel forum friends and ate fabulous food. The weather was not at all ideal and was windy most of the time. But you can’t plan on the weather and we carried on with most of our plans and had a great time.
Okay, as promised, here is a gallery of some of the things we saw. I’ll be back soon to tell some tales.

Beautiful, but do tell what they are! Like, what’s that blog you the Miss and Mr. are standing in front of in Malaga? Don’t want to speculate on what it looks like….
hmmm, not sure what you mean. Maggie and John are standing beside a sculpture on Larios street. Is that the one you mean? I’m thinking you didn’t mean to write the word “blog” right?
Nope, meant “blob”… All you say is “cool sculpture” but it looks like a blob of lava or something else… chocolate quizas? Donde estan los churros?
I’m not sure what it is made of or the name so….yea, forgot the churros. will be in a future post :)
Toby, I love the architecture and beauty. Great pics. I look forward to your tales. Keith
Thanks Keith!
Planning the next one already? 2021?
not sure!
Not sure about 2021 or not sure… full stop?! I hope it’s not the latter! We’ve still got to do Portugal :) (Food and wine are even cheaper and better!)
but I don’t know Portuguese! :) I’m sure I will be back in Spain, just not sure when?
The Portuguese (unlike the Spanish) speak pretty good English AND Spanish, usually. …and German and French…
Magnificent pictures. Can’t wait to hear all about your travels.
Belated Happy Anniversary wishes. <3 :-D
Thank you! Stay tuned :)
You are welcome and I will. :-D
